Abstract

Sexual and relational health and well-being concern more than just the young, ‘fit’, able and glamorous. This is an important point to emphasise, especially in times of heightened awareness of both physical and mental trauma affecting many military personnel, veterans and their respective relationships (Fossey, 2012). Considering persons with physical and / or mental health challenges is often contrary to popular media representations portraying what they consider sexy and sexually healthy. This article is therefore focused primarily on one age group (under 25 year olds) but that in no way implies that people in other age categories are any less important or without their own sexual health needs and concerns.
